New Dash from Just Dashs. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BOZO · 02-16-2011, 09:01 PM

Thought I would pass along this new product I seen in Hot Rod magazine.
It's a full dash pad with gauges that fits our trucks. They are made by Just Dashs.

*Shane* · 02-16-2011, 09:26 PM

not to be a party pooper or anything but those have been around for about 5-6 years ...

You know, when I was posting this thread I was thinking to my self. You watch, this will be old news to everybody but me. I guess I was right. haw haw

In HRM they were advertising them as if they were a new thing.

Zoomin · 02-16-2011, 11:31 PM

I ran across this today, and thought it was slick. Motorized filler cover.

jakeblues652 · 02-16-2011, 11:55 PM

i've posted stuff about that dash a time or two. 500 to my door. a little pricey. the guy said they normally can't keep them in stock.

Maestro · 02-17-2011, 02:21 AM

$500 for a dash pad? Are the gauges included? Still seems a little high.

69sixpackbee · 02-17-2011, 03:05 AM

It's not even a pad, per se, but a vinyl covered overlay with three little holes pointed vaguely towards the drivers direction.

No thanks

So you would have to put this over the dash pad you already have? Wonder how long it lasts until the sun cracks it....

68custom396 · 02-17-2011, 03:20 AM

They are 329.99 in my Brothers catalog. Wish I had some extra money to buy one

Why not just make one out of a old dash pad. Looks pretty simple to me. Take the sheet metal cut it bend it tach it down have it covered by a good shop and there you have it.

**special-K** · 02-17-2011, 08:34 AM

Why not just keep the gauges in the instrument cluster? Store bought custom parts become mundane in short time and it's,"Oh yeah,there's another one of those custom dash pads"

**'70_402** · 02-17-2011, 09:40 AM

for as long as these have been out... does ANYONE on this board have one? the only one i've ever seen outside of the catalog was a SEMA 4 years ago...

LilD · 02-17-2011, 10:05 AM

Im a boarderline traditionalist. Thats alot of money that could be spent on something less ugly.

Shane, a party pooper?? Say it isn't so!

ChevLoRay · 02-17-2011, 12:41 PM

I used to have a 4-guage panel, in chrome (the good chrome) that I put in my '65 C-10.

The only benefit I see to having the guages on the top of the dash would be to make them more visible. Honestly, how many of us drive and watch what the guages are doing? If you mount the panel below the dash, they're still there when you need 'em, and out of sight if you don't.

That's a bunch of money for something that benefits the seller, more than the buyer.

I'll have to raise my hand here. I pay close attention to the gauges GM gave me and the several I've added.
That being said I wish I could justify buying something like that to get the gauges out from under my dash that I added knee-knocker style for lack of a better position. But $330 - $500 is out of my league for something that functionally doesn't change what I got.

I got two kids to get through college yet.

The under the bed floor filler is another"been around a while" item.IIRC it was about 7-8 years ago i saw them in a street rod mag.I don't remember if they had power ones then but you knew it was coming.

**SactoJim** · 02-17-2011, 05:05 PM

Those motorized fill covers are cool as well and have been around for some time.....but if I remember they are pretty proud of those as well....like $600 or so!

admitting there's a problem is the first step to recovery ... or some sorta jibber-jabber like that.
